Curtiss-Wright Awarded $7.2 Million Contract From Boeing
Motion Control Segment to Supply Proprietary Aircraft Canopy Actuators for
F/A-18
ROSELAND, N.J., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Curtiss-Wright Corporation
(NYSE: CW; CW.B) has received a new contract from The Boeing Company to supply
proprietary aircraft canopy actuators for the F/A-18 Super Hornet. The
contract is valued at up to $7.2 million over a five-year-period at current
projected aircraft production levels.
Curtiss-Wright's proprietary actuator, which is used to open and close the
aircraft's canopy, was chosen because of its unique low-weight and low-cost
design, which will enable some commonality of parts on both the "E"
(single-seat) and "F" (dual-seat) versions of theSuper Hornet.
"Our ability to design highly integrated subsystems and components is a great
advantage for our customers because it provides better cost structures," said
Martin R. Benante, Chairman and CEO. "We are very pleased that Boeing has
chosen us for this important defense contract."
Curtiss-Wright's Motion Control segment will manufacture the components at its
Shelby, N.C. facility. Development work has begun on the program and product
shipments, which include both original equipment and spares, are expected to
begin in 2005.
The combat-proven F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a single -- and dual -- seat,
twin-engine multi-mission tactical aircraft. Today, the Super Hornet is in
service with the U.S. Navy. Boeing leads the nationwide industry team that
builds the Super Hornet.
In addition to the Super Hornet Curtiss-Wright supplies content on a number of
military and commercial aerospace programs through its Motion Control segment.
